so my LO was due last Friday and things were looking up with contractions starting friday afternoon and lasting until saturday but since then they have disappeared and a midwife appointment on monday resulted in me being told i'm in slow early labour and had dilated 1 whole cm woooo! since then i don't feel like i'm any further on despite my best efforts! am booked for another sweep on Friday and due to be induced on Monday but would much rather this LO just made his way in to the world very very soon and without medical intervention! so it's not really a question more just needing to get stuff off my chest because am feeling pretty down about it all and everyone else seems to be having their babies on time! anyone else feeling the same or i am being particularly impatient and hormonal?!?! xxx

oh bless you- have you seen my post further down- overdue?
I am overdue by 4 days now, second baby.

Is this your first? I was in slow labour for about 4 days with my first. Had contractions at night then they settled during the day. I bet the next sweep will get you going.

Its so easy to compare yourself to everyone else I know but just concentrate on your little one and make the most of the time you have. Relax put your feet up watch all the films you want to watch! I remember no one told me that labour could go on for days and thought it was quite abnormal but actually very normal for many!

Keep me posted
